IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2016-04-27
Abstract: A method of providing radio resources to a number of communication flows in a radio access network that comprises a slice controller and a plurality of base stations. The method comprises in the slice controller abstracting radio resources that are available to the plurality of base stations and dynamically allocating the abstracted radio resources to a number of isolated slices, each slice accommodating one or more of the communication flows and communicating the radio resource allocations to the base stations. The method further comprises, in the base stations, performing application specific customisation radio resources within an allocated slice.

Title: Autonomous vehicle post fault operation
Inventor: ERIC SHE
IPC: G05D1/00
Filed: 2017-12-04
Abstract: A method comprising determining a driving-acceptable region defined by coordinates relative to a first vehicle, wherein the region includes coordinates of the size and location of other vehicles and the roadway, and upon determining a fault, piloting the first vehicle to a stop within the region. The vehicle may operate the brakes, steering or powertrain to achieve this. The determination may include not predicting with greater than or equal to 99.9% probability that the first vehicle can be safely piloted. The first vehicle may receive information via sensors or network interfaces.

Predetermined rates of change may be used to modify polynomial equations, wherein the rates of change limit the centripetal forces within predetermined limits.
Patent GB-2570109-A (GB)
Title: Optical data transmission system
Inventor: Andrew lord
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2018-01-09
Abstract: An optical transmitter 100 converts an optical data signal at a first wavelength to a second wavelength. The converted optical data signal is then transmitted at the second wavelength to an optical receiver over an optical path. The optical transmitter also transmits to the receiver, at the first wavelength over the optical path, a single-photon signal comprising a stream of single photons. The single-photon signal may be a quantum signal such as a quantum key distribution (QKD) signal. The wavelength of the optical data signal may be converted by an optical phase conjugation (OPC) process 130. The optical path is configured to carry optical signals at different wavelengths and the optical path attenuates signals at the first wavelength less than it attenuates signals at the second wavelength. The single-photon signal is received at the optical receiver at the first wavelength and the optical data signal is received by the optical receiver at the second wavelength. The optical data signal is converted to the first wavelength for detection which may be detected by optical detectors.

Title: Digital resampling method and apparatus
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER RONALD STEPHEN FLUDGER
IPC: H04L27/227
Filed: 2018-11-26
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for digital resampling in a coherent optical communications receiver are described. An optical data input stream is converted into a digital input stream comprising a plurality of samples. Whole samples from the digital input signal are selected in a time domain based upon an integer pointer value. Complex time shift values are generated based upon a fractional pointer value and applied to the respective selected whole samples in a frequency domain to perform a sub-sample interpolation of the selected whole samples. This amounts to performing the time shift of the interpolation process in the frequency domain. The method may be performed in conjunction with the operation of a polarisation recovery filter. The purported advantage is that performing interpolation in the frequency domain using complex time shift values derived from a fractional pointer is more efficient than applying filters in the time domain.

Title: Vehicle-distributed asset management
Inventor: James Nicholas Murray
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2019-04-16
Abstract: Managing assets distributed between vehicles, such as tools 6A, 6B stored in a van 2A or storage spaces 5A, 5B, 5C available in a truck. An asset determination module 7 on the vehicle determines whether an asset is available on the vehicle. The vehicle transmits asset availability data to a remotely located control module and/or to another vehicle. A control module may arrange access to the asset in response to a request, such as arranging for a user to borrow a tool from another vehicle. This control module may be remotely located or may be local to the vehicle. The asset availability data may comprise an inventory of assets available on the vehicle, a time period during which each asset is available for use or access, vehicle location data or vehicle identification data. The asset determination module may comprise an asset locating device, such as: a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader, a video or image recognition system, a barcode reader, a weight sensor, an optical sensor, a presence sensor, or another automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) system. The vehicle thus acts as a hire station for lending tools and storage spaces to other vehicles in a fleet.
